8 Reasons to Buy Vintage, Recycled and Handmade
.
I have heard it said (re: the current economic strife)
that we are living in a new normal.
We will buy less but buy quality.
.
Bring it on…mindful spending!
.
1. Help contribute to establishing a new economy!
.
2. Contribute to decrease in fossil fuel erosion.
Purchasing mass produced products generally come from overseas plus barging it all over, production costs etc.
.
.
3. This new breed of craftsperson/merchant is often using recycled materials or selling vintage treasures.
.
4. Artisans/craftspeople love creating their wares
and pay a great attention to detail. This is the way it used to be, in other words, vintage.
.
5. Purchasing should be a conscious decision.
Be more conscious of spending and of where your
hard-earned money is going. This contributes to the bigger picture.
.
6. Made to last.
Many manufacturers make things with a purposelessly short (seasonal) lifespan. A handmade item will be made to last. This, of course, is much better for the environment. Quality over quantity!
.
7. A vintage item has already stood the ‘test of time’.
.
8. When you buy from an actual person.
This is the true “trickle down” economics...
...everyone wins.
